English term or phrase: select for
"whereas it was assumed that rice sourdough fermentation ***selects for*** Lb. spicheri, this LAB species cannot always be found in rice sourdoughs"

Ce terme revient à chaque fois dans ce même contexte. Cette préposition me chagrine et là encore, je crains qu'une nuance scientifique ne m'échappe, avez-vous déjà rencontré cette construction et si oui, comment l'exprimer ?
